Translation: Soul and Body
In the Longhua Martyr’s Cemetery there’s a tunnel full of all manner of revolutionary sayings, some of them communist, some just generally pushing the reader to fight the good fight.
This one seemed interesting enough:
如果人有灵魂的话,何必要这个躯壳!
If one has a soul, then one must have a body!
但是,如果没有的话,这个躯壳又有什么用处?
However, if one doesn’t have a soul, then what good is a body?
这并不是格言,也不是哲理,而是另外有些意思的话。
This isn’t just some saying, nor is it a philosophy, it’s something else altogether.
